A most wanted man (2014)
Even though it had been hailed as a smart spy thriller, I thought it was so predictable. I had seen many movies with such a theme and possible outcome. From the onset, one can predict that somebody is going to be conned. And sure enough, it happened.

Instead of the Cold War being the background for film, here it is the Muslim-West front set in Hamburg, the central of sleeper cells.
A Chechnyan, Essa Karpov, lands in Hamburg illegally. He has to get his father's ill-gotten monies to a non-profit Muslim organisation through a philanthropist. Gunther Bachmann (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a German espionage who identifies the intruder as a dangerous terrorist. He, together with an American agent and interior security minister, tries to intercept the transaction. They know the money will be used for terrorist activities. Gunther cuts a deal to trap the philanthropist and free passage for the illegal immigrant but is sabotaged at the last minute.
One movie where you just run through and get it done and over with! 6/10.
